The Market. 



The outdoor flowers are piling into 

 the market, although the continued in- 

 clement weather has served as an effec- 

 tive check on an excessive production. 

 Gladioli and peonies have become more 

 prominent and bedding plants are at the 

 close of their inning. Hydrangeas of 

 special merit receive their share of at- 

 tention. Graduations are here, but, 

 alas, they do not mean so much as in 

 previous years, the presentation of 

 flowers to graduates having been pro- 

 hibited by the powers that be. 



Various Notes. 



At the June meeting of the Essex 

 County Florists' Club the annual outing 

 of the members came up for lengthy dis- 

 cussion. The matter of holding a fall 

 show also received some attention. Com- 

 mittees will report on both propositions 

 at the July meeting. 



Charles Lutliy says that business at 

 his branch store at 459 Elizabeth ave- 

 nue has been so good that he intends to 

 continue it indefinitely. 



Business lias quieted down for a spell, 

 say McLaughlin & Murphy. E. B. M. 



NEWPORT, R. I. 



The Newport Horticultural Society, 

 at a meeting last week, voted to sub- 

 scribe to the Liberty Loan bonds to the

 was taken when it was voted to request 

 all the prize-winners at the annual 

 flower show to turn their awards over 

 to the Ked Cross. A request from the 

 Newport Garden Association to donate 

 the admission fees received on the first 

 day of the show to" the Eed Cross was 

 also agreed to. Guy C. Caldwell, who 

 gave an address on "Tree Surgery and 

 Native Bird Conservation" at the recent 

 open meeting of the society, was pre- 

 sented by President John B. Urquhart, 

 on behalf of the society, with a set of 

 studs and cuff links, in recognition and 

 appreciation of his work.
